I have different and weird nerves going into the the marathon on Sunday. Slightly different than my normal pre race nerves. Understandably different I guess. This is my first stand alone marathon. I have raced two Ironmans so technically I have ran 2 marathons. I think I have done this backwards than most people and have found that training for this marathon has been completely different than training for the marathon aspect of an Ironman.
Not coming from a running background, this is the first time that I have even trained for a stand alone running event. I jumped straight into triathlons, so focus has been spread across all three events. I have learned a great deal about my running over the past few months. There have been ups and downs along the way. But I have found a true enjoyment of running.
I know this is going to be a tough day but I am excited to see what the day holds and is a great way to kick off my 2014 schedule.
